Thirty-Year Milestone Celebration

On Oct. 19, 2010, the Federal Law Clerk’s Society and the Federal Practice Committee hosted a celebration to honor U.S. Chief District Judge Gaitan, U.S. District Judge Dean Whipple and U.S. District Judge Gary A. Fenner for their 30 years of public service. The event was held at Piropos in Parkville.
